100 Sex-Driven Album Covers

Sex sells everything. They use it to sell cell phones, snack food, movies, and occasionally even lumber. Nicki Minaj is the most recent to prove that the music industry is no exception to this marketing mentality and is very aware of the power that eye-candy possesses. If not, why else would certain talentless women still have record deals? Although music videos take most of the flack for being overtly sexual, these pictures just go to show that when it comes to making music, the tradition of objectifying women is more ingrained than the drugs and booze. If one thing can be learned from these photos which span genres, decades, nationalities, and degrees of fame, it is that in the end we all share a united passion: not-too-subtle sexual imagery.
